Sounds like the judge was more concerned about how this guy was going to survive in jail. He probably would have been 'groomed' himself. Just goes to show that there's laws for some, and laws for others.

This bit concerns me:" Police collected "hundreds" of texts between McMillan and the complainant".

Seems she wasn't squeeky clean either. ;)

Clearly the judge has no faith in the prison system.

Have you not heard of promiscuous 12yo girls?

The content of the texts would shed more light and it looks like texts were where the matter ended.

1303482 2012-09-26 19:24:00 Sounds like you have and that is disturbing. The context of the texts are the very reason why a 19 year old male should have realised that this was not appropriate with a 12 year old. It was not as if it was a random text from an unknown, he actually knew her and therefore her age. sam m (517)
1303483 2012-09-26 20:08:00 children are quite disgusting these days. I wouldn't be surprised if she was the one who pushed for it. They're not nearly as innocent as they often appear. 8ftmetalhaed (14526)

Nope, they aren't. Which is why the law (rightly so) places responsibility for cases like this onto the adult. He was the one who is deemed to be responsible, he was the one in a position of power, he was the one who abused it. Maybe she didn't try and stop him, but he was the one who should have know better.

Yes, if she replied at all to these 100’s of Text’s, let alone the context of those replies, makes me wonder just what was going on.

It’s just not quite what I’d expect from a “Miss Goody Two-Shoes”.

Anyway, what is this “Sexual Grooming”? Is it a new activity, or a new name for an old activity? :D

Meant to say Yes, they can be . Didn't realise my mistake until it was too late to edit.
